It provides a ruggedized enterprise class networking platform that can be confidently deployed in environments such as smart cities, mining, oil and gas, shipping ports and logistics, as well as education for students and teachers. Combined with NetCloud Service for IoT, the R500-PLTE delivers complete visibility, security, and control together with health and status alerts on security posture, network conditions, and usage for connected devices anywhere.
Notable Features
- Deploy a competitively priced value-driven Private LTE (PLTE) networking solution with industry-leading features
- Define policies through centralized cloud-based management for easy deployment at scale
- Use an FCC Part 96 authorized end-user device for Band 48 OnGo CBRS networks
- Install a compact and ruggedized router in a wide range of environments where connectivity must be reliable
- Deploy Wave 2 dual-band, dual-concurrent Gigabit Wi-Fi for the best possible connections
- Add a second cellular modem, with an Extensibility Dock, for multi-link capability to both the private and public network
- Expand with custom solutions using GPIOs, NetCloud SDK and API, and NetCloud Edge Connector for Azure IoT Central
Cradlepoint NetCloud Service provides powerful centralized management for every Cradlepoint cellular-enabled router, including the R500-PLTE. NetCloud Service allows customers to build and manage wireless WANs with complete lifecycle management, zero-touch deployment, robust security, and traffic management for optimal application performance and reliability. The cloud capabilities include group policy definition, reports, troubleshooting, and analytics dashboards. The service includes a warranty for as long as the router has an active subscription, online training, live and online support, and software and firmware updates.
Advanced Software Lifecycle Management
NetCloud improves the typical software lifecycle management process. New features are continuously delivered to the NetCloud Service and available for the router without interrupting network performance. Software versions are tracked for every endpoint, with the latest version just a click away. Straightforward subscription and license management is provided to keep the network running without interruption.
